I will NEVER be purchasing this game again thru the STEAM client. It'll be almost 5 days since a patch was released that my league required and STEAM users weren't given any chance of updating.
Our league is a fairy fast moving league, and as such I've lost a month of game time.
I find it incredibly frustrating to try and build a team and then have the rug yanked out from under my feet the company feels that one set of customers aren't as important as another. And when a company treats a portion of it's customers like a red headed step child, I'm kinda wondering at the same time why I give that company my money.

I'm really pissed off as well. My girlfriend gives me steam gift cards for birthdays, stocking stuffers for christmas, and whenever she wants to do something nice for me. So I have a bunch of steam credits and buy all of my pc games through steam.
I play other games on steam and they
all patch at the same time and in most cases steam users get the patch faster as their servers are faster than the developers server. I've never seen a patch go out a day or longer behind for steam users. I've also never heard any developer say that patching on steam takes longer. This is the first time that I've encountered getting a patch later because I'm on steam.
I have never dealt with a company that delays their patch for steam users. I guess next year I will have to buy direct or just not buy at all. Steam isn't perfect (I sometimes have problems with the overlay but its' usually a conflict with bitdefender whenever they make an update), but I use it because I have lots of credits there and I have never had any major problems using it.
When there are people in leagues that require to be on the same build and some can get the build several days ahead of time this is unacceptable.
I have played this game for a couple of weeks and already got some of my friends that I played hs and adult league baseball with years ago to buy the game and plan to get more of my other old baseball buddies to buy it so that we can have our own league. I have to now tell people not to buy through steam so that we can avoid having some people being on an old build.
I get it. You make less money selling through steam. But steam has a huge pool of gamers. I was bored with the games I was currently playing and decided to look for a baseball game and that is how I found this game. Please treat us as equal users. This is really unacceptable.
